If a polygyny application is rejected, can I appeal?

Yes, the court's decision on a polygyny application may be appealed to a higher Syariah Court following the state appeal procedure. Act 303 section 23 and the equivalent Enactments provide a right of appeal for a dissatisfied party. The notice of appeal must be filed within the period set by the state civil procedure rules, so act quickly. Before appealing, read the grounds of judgment: if it was rejected because of insufficient finances or weak evidence of justice, it may be better to reassess that decision honestly and fulfil the rights of the existing family first, before considering a fresh application. Do not marry abroad after an application is rejected; that is still an offence. Consult a Syarie lawyer and see polygyny procedure.
